“The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, CBS and Fox News, among many others, have carried the cartoon. But CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and the New York Times are among those refusing to do so.”
No surprise. The millions of sales in Paris are, however. Wouldn’t you like to be a stockholder in Charlie Weekly right now?

UPDATE: CNN’s directive to staff. In which Mighty Mo gets the appellation The Prophet. Got that, all you readers/worshipers of lesser, lower-case prophets?
Ever notice how when one of these hair-sprayed wonders (often with a huge belly you can’t see below the desk) goes off his meds on the air the rant is pure Leftist and frequently anti-Semitic.
No wonder CNN is dead last in the audience ratings.

There are 4,500 criminal statutes on the federal books alone, according to the Wall Street Journal. Almost half of them have been added since 1970. More than 400 of those have been imposed since 2008. (By you know who.)
Never mind the more than 300,000 regulatory crimes that can also land you in jail. Some like to say Americans commit three felonies every day without even knowing it. The old saw that ignorance of the law is no excuse is a bad joke.
Undoubtedly for the lawmakers as well as the would-be law abiders. How many of our federal pols know every one of these laws? Any? I doubt it.
It would be grand if the new Republican congress could curb congress’s crime addiction. It would be unwise, of course, to count on it. Too bad.
UPDATE: Just the latest regulations are expensive.

The thugs Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin got all the attention, the demos, the speeches, the news media and the pols…
“Meanwhile, Miriam Carey, a young black [unarmed] mother with her baby in tow, was gunned down in a hail of at least 26 gunshots by Capitol Police in Washington more than a year ago. She committed no crime, but made a wrong turn near the White House. Few facts have been publicly released, and all official video has been suppressed. Despite investigations by the police and Justice Department, no charges have been recommended against any police officers. There have been no demonstrations…”
I’m with WND writer Joseph Farah, I still don’t get it.

Can’t say for sure who race-hustler Al Sharpton visited on his sixty-plus trips to the White House, but it’s a safe bet it wasn’t the gardener.
“MSNBC host, tax evader and proclaimed ‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton is a top adviser to President Obama and has been since day one in the Oval Office. In fact, with more than 60 visits to the White House during Obama’s tenure, you could say Sharpton is one of the top advisers outside of paid staff.
“Heck, he’s even vacationed with the president on Martha’s Vineyard and has a close relationship with senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. He’s also played a key role in advising Obama about nominations to powerful positions inside the federal government, including a replacement for Attorney General Eric Holder as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.”
Gosh, you don’t suppose this explains why the pretend Great Uniter came into office in 2009 bashing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News? And why he’s been much more like a Great Divider ever since?
And just when is tax-cheat Al going to get around to paying his $4.5 million in back taxes?

UPDATE: It’s not like he couldn’t raise the money. The reverend, whose slick-backed hair is “conked” like an old-fashioned Negro, already is sponsored by major corporations: Sony, GM, AT&T, Verizon, McDonald’s & Walmart.
Hey, it’s what college students and their professors do these days: scoping out white privilege. Especially the ones who got poor grades in science and math.
“It’s important to remember that ‘white’ doesn’t mean ‘white’ any more than The Patriarchy refers to biological males, of which there is no such thing. Whiteness, like Maleness is modified by ideology, party affiliation and above all their place in the Narrative. Spotting social oppressors requires knowledge acquired in courses like Gender or Racial studies the same way people needed special sunglasses to see the aliens among us in the movie They Live….
“…one of the dangers to reality being all in the mind is you can think you’ve been a good guy all your life and suddenly realize you’re Darth Vader. Like Franz Kafka’s narrator in Metamorphosis, you may wake up one day to find yourself transformed into a gigantic cockroach. It’s a shocking realization but one you should be open to.”
Because if you’re not willing to play the culprit, they don’t get to play the victim and all those gender, race and class professors would be out of work and that would be one more example of white privilege. See how it works?

Okay, I razzed Mr. B. for being a dope and now it’s my turn. Remember Donovan? The hippy-dippy singer whose 1967 song Mellow Yellow was about getting high off bananas? Somehow, either in the lyrics or just scuttlebutt, word got around that you were supposed to bake the skins. So I did.
As J.D. recalls: “His ‘Mellow Yellow’ set off a panic among the establishment about kids getting high from smoking bananas. ‘Electrical bananas, gonna be a sudden craze, electrical bananas, gonna be the very next phase.’ The ‘establishment’ was on a continual freak about anybody being able to get high from something” other than alcohol.
Yep. So I baked it and then I scraped some of the baked part off and then I ate it. Awful, really awful. And waited for the buzz to begin. And waited and waited. And waited some more. And I was a senior in college at the time. And really dumb.
